1.2 Response Rates

1.2.1 Phone Call Outcomes

The figure below summarizes the outcomes of each individual call attempt, disaggregated by type of sample.

COMP = Completed interview
REFU = Refusal to participate
NNU = Phone number not in operation (not known on the network)
INEL = Respondent is not eligible due to residence or age, and no deferral or referral was possible
LANG = Respondent answered the phone, but did not speak the same language as any enumerator
INCO = Interview has begun, but has not been completed (callback required)
NR = The call rang through, but no answer/busy
NNA = The number is in operation but is unable to be accessed because it is switched off or doesn’t have network coverage
REFER = Respondent is not eligible, referred other household member
REASS = Respondent answered the phone, but spoke a language not spoken by any enumerators
DEFER = Respondent is not eligible at this time (quota filled) and was deferred
Other = Any other outcome

1.2.2 CATI Outcomes

The figure below shows the final outcomes of every unique phone number attempted. Outcomes are first reported for all numbers (overall) and dis-aggregated by the sample from which the telephone number was obtained.

COMP = Completed interview
PART = Partially completed interview (no callback)
REFU = Refusal to participate
NR = Functional number, but not reached after 5 attempts
NNU = Phone number not in operation (not known on the network)
INEL = Respondent is not eligible (living outside the Kinshasa or Nord Kivu or not in the eligible age range), and no deferral or referral was possible
LANG = Respondent answered the phone, but spoke a language not spoken by any enumerators
PEND = An interview that is currently pending and not yet reached 5 failed attempts. This is a temporary outcome status and will later be re-classified as one of the other possible outcomes
NNA = The number is in operation (known on the network) but unable to be accessed because it is switched off or doesn’t have network coverage
DEFER = Case deferred to a later stage because the respondent’s quota had been filled during the current sampling cycle
